Mick's comment on Imran Khan vs Richard Cadden.

As some of you may know, I'm not very familiar with the Internet and its internal workings. However, some of you have mentioned the general debate that's going on in the odd Internet forum concerning the forthcoming fight between Imran and Richard Cadden.I would like to add my thoughts for all ( who are bothered ) to know.

I have known Richard Cadden for many years,I've had the privilege of watching him develop from an enthusiastic novice to the great champion he is today. He is a fearless and skilful fighter who has taken on the best fighters in the UK and abroad. I have nothing but admiration for Richard, I appreciate him for his skill, admire him for his indomitable courage and respect him as a friend. He has been taught by one of the best teachers we have in Richard Smith and I am sure he will be perfectly prepared for this match.

This fight will be business as usual for both camps. It is not about whether or not these two lads like each other ( although they do...), it is about putting their respective skills to the test against each other. Imran is working extremely hard with me every night (- that says how much we rate Richard Cadden -) even though he is fasting during the holy month of Ramadhan, he will be ready to face Richard. I say good luck to them both, it will be one hell of a fight.

I urge all Wicker students to refrain from criticizing individuals over the Internet, it is a cowardly and crass way of behaving which says a lot more about you than it does about anyone you may criticize. I hope not to speak anymore on this subject.
